Aura of gushing steam shrouds you;
Boiling world rumbles and forces
Crust cracks and explosions to make
Danger. Danger!
Emissions echo and rise in plumes,
Fermenting the air.
Ground mutates:
Highs and lows;
I'm watching you being
Jumped on by bears.
Kamchatka.
Listen to your name:
Magnificent for magnificence.
Nomenclature notwithstanding, you are representative
Of a place unknown,
Peculiar with your perspiring pores of Earth's steam,
Quenched by the land with your
Rivulets.
Something about you
Tempts me.
Unusual?
Very.
Wild? Yes!
Xenial? No.
You are
Zendik, a magician.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Zendik? Is that a hidden reference to the American writer and activist or just a bit of fun? I liked it regardless.
Oooo, zendik! That's a new word for me! Your Abecedarian was so wonderful!
Transcendent transportation of us to a wondrous & foreign land.
Mountains, volcanoes, nature in abundance.
